    The rotary engine that Mazda used in the beloved RX-7 and RX-8 doesn’t work like other engines. This episode of Science Garage explains what’s going on inside the magic triangle that gets you all that high revving action that rotary drivers love! People who know them love them AND hate them. From rotors and apex seals to housings and E-shafts, you’ll learn about the Wankel Rotary Engine, and HOW IT WORKS!
    Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

      Mazda is adding a single chamber range extender wankel option to it's 2020 BEV in the next year, apparently. But you may be right for ordinary ICE application. In other news, there are some VERY promising clean diesel developments, which you did predict. Achates truck application and Mueller/Sandia ducted injectors.

      And I am sure they have already developed billet based parts that are capable of extreme durability. Did Mazda thought about this back in the 1960s. No why because times where different then and I am sure billet blocks and heads didn't come into existence. There is intellectual aptitude yes but pure intellect alone does not subsitute for pratically reality of manifesting things. You need skill and intellect to make something manifest. In the case with these guys. They are keeping this relic of mechincal engineering around and are improving upon it as we speak and breath. So yeah...do not doubt that something is assumingly futile because it has failed in the past. It can be reworked and improved upon as you can see with this shop here:

      Red Valkyrie Haven't watch Wangan Midnight, and I personally prefer skills and techniques rather than raw power.
      But I heard of a tale of the crazed driver of the mountain passes. The tales tells that he can drift with his eyes closed. There's even rumor of him lighting a cigar while doing so. He runs a tofu shop, and people said he looks just like a normal middle-aged guy.

    • @panzeroige
      @panzeroige 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've heard that story many times. And for some reason, whenever it gets to the point of him lighting his cigarette, an odd piece if music begins playing. At first it sounds all silly and fun, but then it suddenly turns all serious. And just as the verse is about to kick in, you can here a different middle-aged man, possibly a friend of the crazed driver, shout at the top of his lungs for someone to save him. And then all sounds are cut, replaced by the clear sound of tires screeching. Gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it.

      @@doktorbimmer The uk government are being forced to ban or limit diesel cars by 2040. They are giving off high amounts of carcinogenic pollution and are credited for a large rise in cancerous deaths. A lot of the diesel emission testing didn't apply to real world situations while many were falsified. In other words 95% of diesel cars are marginally better for us than petrol if at all, some diesels are worse. DPF filters (that limit the cancerous fumes) are also a very big grey area in effectiveness. Many people have them removed as they block up easily and are costly to replace. Also very conflicting evidence in how well they actually filter while working on top of the added pollution they take to make. Also much pollution is added because some people are forced to ''drive on the motorway to clean the filter''. If they don't do that a warning light puts cars into limp mode. Sellers of such cars do not tell people that diesels are very bad to be used as anything but long distance vehicles. Car makers want sales, telling people a car that is bad in short journeys is not good business for them so they don't say it.

When he arrived, he bragged to his friends that his car used a new type of engine - half turbine, half reciprocating. “It is my invention!” he told his friends. Upon waking up, Wankel became dedicated to building his engine. Though he never received a formal degree (or a driver’s license), Wankel was a gifted engineer.

      Pascals Law refers to an equivalence of pressure and volume
      relationship. If you're increasing pressure, volume must decrease to
      maintain preservation of energy. Take a balloon for instance, if you
      decrease the size on one side, the opposite side increases to maintain
      volume relationship. So the argument does not pertain, the principal in
      essence is correct
